Description
Role
Purpose:
An exciting opportunity exists for two experienced Risk Governance & Reporting Managers to strengthen and support the Group Risk function at Old Mutual Limited (OML).
The purpose of this role is to contribute specialist expertise to the design, enablement, and ongoing improvement of enterprise‑wide risk governance and reporting practices across the Group. The role supports the consistent, proportionate, and defensible application of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks, methodologies, policies, systems, and reporting, ensuring that risk management enables effective decision‑making rather than compliance‑driven execution.
The role plays a key part in ensuring that risk governance frameworks, risk information, and risk insights are aligned to regulatory expectations, risk appetite, and Board requirements, and remain fit‑for‑purpose in a complex and evolving business environment.
Role Overview:
The Risk Governance & Reporting Officers will operate at the centre of the Group’s Integration & Governance (I&G) function within OML Group Risk.
Working in a Line 2 environment, the role provides exposure to enterprise‑wide risk governance architecture, senior stakeholders, and Board‑level governance processes. The role operates across all I&G focus areas, spanning the development and application of risk governance frameworks and standards, the evolution and consistent application of ERM methodology, the delivery of Group‑level risk reporting and insights, the effective use of risk systems and data, and the enablement of strong risk understanding and capability across the organisation, including support for relevant training and awareness initiatives.
The role is ideally suited to professionals with strong risk governance experience who can operate with high judgement, independence, and credibility at Group level.
Key Result Areas / Outputs

Support custodianship of the Group Risk Policy Framework, including governance standards, rollout, ongoing monitoring, and policy attestation processes.
Partner with Line 1 policy owners and SMEs to enable effective adoption of risk governance requirements, providing guidance and oversight while maintaining Line 2 independence.
Deliver and enhance Group‑wide risk reporting and insights for executive and Board‑level forums, incorporating trends, drivers, appetite performance, and emerging risks.
